All-Time Popular McDonald’s Commercial Songs [2026] (41–50)
Song of the Triangular Choco PieMaki Youko, Itou Sairi
This is the song sung by Yoko Maki and Sairi Ito in the commercial for McDonald’s popular autumn dessert, the Sankaku Choco Pie, which appears every fall.
Titled “The Sankaku Choco Pie Song,” it celebrates the arrival of Sankaku Choco Pie season—but in fact, it’s a parody of another track! The original song is “Taiyo to Bikini” by the hip-hop group RIP SLYME.
Hearing them enthusiastically praise the charms of the Sankaku Choco Pie makes you want to head to McDonald’s, doesn’t it?
Never Ending StoryKaiak
A commercial titled “Happy Meal Graduation” portrays the growth of a cute big sister who moves on from Happy Meals and orders the same set menu as adults.
Featuring Akira Ishida of NON STYLE, the ad uses The NeverEnding Story Theme performed by the Dutch band Kayak.
The song was originally the theme for the German-American film The NeverEnding Story.
It was first sung by the English singer Limahl.
Brimming with dreamlike imagery perfectly suited to a fantasy film, the track evokes the question of what answers lie hidden within an endless journey.
SmileShinohara Ryōko
The McDonald’s Big Mac commercial “This Year, BIG SMILE Together,” featuring Ryoko Shinohara.
In this musical-style ad where Shinohara sings and dances, the song she performs, “SMILE,” was originally an instrumental piece used in Charlie Chaplin’s film Modern Times.
It has been covered by various artists around the world, including Michael Jackson.
In the commercial, Shinohara sings the Japanese translation of the song.
Two People’s Love IslandIshikawa Yuko & Chage
“Futari no Airando,” which has been featured in various commercials over the years, was also used in a McDonald’s commercial.
The song was released in 1984 as a collaborative track by singer-songwriter Yuko Ishikawa and Chage of CHAGE and ASKA.
Its especially catchy chorus is likely familiar even to generations who didn’t know the song in real time back then.
The up-tempo, summery vibe perfectly matches the image of the Loco Moco Burger, which is themed around Hawaii!
lost itemVaundy
Vaundy’s “Wasuremono” (“Lost Property”) was released as a single in 2022 and later included on the 2023 album “replica.” It features an aggressive band sound and striking, emotionally charged vocals, giving the impression of raw, unfiltered feelings and frustrations being laid bare.
The lyrics focus on things forgotten in everyday life and memories, depicting both the things one never wants to forget and the sadness of forgetting.
As a commercial song, it was used in a McDonald’s ad starring Junichi Okada, where, under the theme of “a burger that transcends time,” the track conveys the excitement surrounding the return of a revived burger.

In the McDonald’s commercial featuring Takuya Kimura and Taiga Nakano, the familiar “ba-da-ba-ba-ba” jingle is rearranged with a rock vibe.
The ad announces the return of the Shogayaki Burger “Yakki,” part of the “Choi Mac” lineup that’s perfect for a small bite or a little extra treat.
A rock guitar melody that perfectly matches Kimura’s cool image rings out—and at the end, you hear that iconic jingle! Just like in the commercial, it makes you want to swing by McDonald’s in the middle of your workday.
Original songThe Birthday
In the McDonald’s QUARTER POUNDER commercial, two Namie Amuros signal the start of a fight with a headbutt and proceed to battle it out Street Fighter–style.
The rock sound that perfectly matches the combat scene in this ad is The Birthday’s “CATS NEVER EAT BEEF.” The track is included on the album WATCH YOUR BLINDSIDE, but the version on the album is a live recording; the original studio version exists only in the commercial.
The scorching sound, which adds even more fuel to the fierce clash between the two Namie Amuros, is seriously cool!
